One of the more generic Redwall books. The characters were even less developed than normal; I think this can be blamed on the fact that there was action taking place in as many as five different locations simultaneously (Redwall books usually have only three at once), so there were fewer scenes than normal dedicated to each set of characters.
Tiria annoyed me greatly. She was never really a part of the main story because she was just a very young Abbeymaid with no experience. In most...more

As a teenager, I read every Redwall book I could get and bought the new ones as they came out. I stopped fairly recently - after Lord Brocktree - but recently checked out the newest book, Eulalia, from a library. I was so disappointed by it that I hardly dared try any of the others, but I did want to determine whether an author I used to love had plummeted downhill recently or had just written one bad book. When I read the also-recent High Rhulain, I was happy to conclude the latter.

Probably one of the better entries in the series as of late, but with my interest so far diminished it was hard to tell.
The book had a lot to offer - new places, new character types, and plenty of good Redwall action. The main fault was that it took so long to get there! The book would have been so much better if not for the first one hundred pages; as soon as Colonel Cuthbert makes his entry, a deranged but entertaining hare, things got moving; I bought this book back in March but...more

Sigh. Back in the day, the Redwall series was one of the reasons I started writing, particularly things with plot. I probably should have just let that sleeping dog slumber, especially since Jacques recently passed away, but in my quest to read all the books I own that I haven't yet, I had to pick up "High Rhulain." Wow. Character development? Nonexistent. Plot? Rushed and haphazard. Emotional content? Suffice to say that a few important characters get killed, and when they do, ...more
This book is purely amazing like any Brian Jacques book. Every thing ties together perfectly in the end. There's tons of sweaty brow action and great relationships and the whole deal.
Compared to other Redwall books, this wasn't a favorite, as it felt rushed. But otherwise, I really enjoyed it, and loved its focus on otters and other creatures besides Redwallers.

The book first start out wtih an outline of a place called Green Isle; a place that once was ruled by otter clans and currently dominated by cats who rule with an iron paw. An otter soon learns that she has the blood of a Queen: High Rhulain and sought to seek the place and eventaully learn of her role: to end the rule of a wildcat and bring the rule back to the otterclan. In the end, she learned to enjoy herself and learned the role of a warrrior as any living beast.

I've been reading Brian Jacques since 7th grade when I picked up Salamadastron. They are a little on the young side for me nowadays but I still love the stories and how they all the books relate with past stories in some way. They are quick reads and they are just cute stories with happy endings. They are nice for inbetween books or just a fast read. I plan to read these to my children one day. I am sorry Jacques passed away. I would have loved the story of Redwall to continue forever. :)
This is one of my favorite Redwall books. I recommend it highly if you are a fan of Brian Jacques, fantasy, or talking animals. Heck yea.
I wish that Brian could have kept the hare at the end. It's a pity, a true pity that his history was never fully completed.
This is my favorite of all the Redwall books. This epic has (in my opinion) the best developed of all Jacques' characters.
I ABSOBALLYLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK. IT IS ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITES!! READ IT!! Its about an otter finding out her destiny.
I keep all of these books in my room for easy access when I need to go back to my favorite land- Mossflower Country!
This book was really cool. I never thought hat there was an island where the otters once ruled! A cool book.
Got to read if you love adventure this will be 1 out of the 3 top books in the seiries i love.
my favorite part of the book is when the outlaw is in the place where he was held captive.
I think this is the best (and my favorite) Redwall book in quite a while! An epic plot, good characters, lots of action--and, of course, many beautiful descriptions of food.

Loved it. Brian Jacques is a force to be reckoned with.

I thought that the book was just as good as most of the Redwall books. It had a nice quality of adolescence intertwined with the freedom of the open seas. I love the mad hare named Cuthbert, or "sergeant Blood n' Guts", depending on what personality he has at the time.
This is book is among one of my top faves. =)
Woot Woot! High Rhulain's at Redwall?!
